Title:
Analysis of four protocols based on tropical circulant matrices

Authors: Ivan Buchinskiy, Matvei Kotov, Alexander Treier

Abstract:

Several key exchange protocols based on tropical circulant matrices were proposed in the last two years. In this paper, we show that protocols offered by M. Durcheva [M. I. Durcheva. TrES: Tropical Encryption Scheme Based on Double Key Exchange. In: Eur. J. Inf. Tech. Comp. Sci. 2.4 (2022), pp. 11–17], by B. Amutha and R. Perumal [B. Amutha and R. Perumal. Public key exchange protocols based on tropical lower circulant and anti-circulant matrices. In: AIMS Math. 8.7 (2023), pp. 17307–17334.], and by H. Huang, C. Li, and L. Deng [H. Huang, C. Li, and L. Deng. Public-Key Cryptography Based on Tropical Circular Matrices. In: Appl. Sci. 12.15 (2022), p. 7401] are insecure.
